sum of u know i dont drive a scoob (yet) but was just wondering if there is any hype wiv other cars as a model that u seem to ave a frinedly rivalry.

for eg. i own a 2.0 corsa and theres always hype between corsas and saxos. and corsas and novas.

just wondered if there was in the performance car region of things

this is just a query

Main rival is the Mit Evo, depending on what age your comparing the scoob, and even a Ford Focus RS becuase of the price, even if its not 4wd.

But others, especially the older scoobs, can also be compared to modified Cossies, Gti-Rs, Gt4's and Integrale.

Most accept cars like the Skyline are far bigger, are far faster when modified, and are a different sort of animal.

I dunno, Corsas and Saxos, Corsas and Novas, Imprezas and Evos...

We are talking about cars here aren't we? If an alien landed right now and read this thread, he'd probably think it was about football teams or summat!

BTW, why is there rivalry between Corsas and Novas? Surely these two should be united against the massed hordes of French invaders?

Surely there should only be three asterisks, or did you not mean Mit?

i'd add Pulsar GTR's are stiff competition - luckily they are as ugly as sin.

Is that GTRs (skylines) or Pulsar Gtir? They're well fast.
Oh wait, you said ugly, must be the gtir.

Ugly is in the opinion of the eye of the beholder! as my GTiR is
not to me, fast yes, ask all the scoobs around ashford middx
if they have been beaten by the white pulsar with black wheels and
the reply will be yes even the guy who owns the wrx sti 02 prodrive
and the blue wagon with the reg that ends ... wrx he said mine was the only car that had ever got past him, however thumbs up to you
most scoob owners are well alright, but as in all models some are
better looking than others (previous car 96 wrx btw)

On the road, everything can potentially become your competion, should you chose to rise to the bait or indeed be baiting yourself.

Recent encouters of mine include M3s, Volvo T5's, Fiat Coupes, BOXSTERS, Pulsars, Pug 106GTi, Honda Legend and I dare say it...a Modena! The scoob is a bit of a benchmark car, so gets compared to all sorts and I seem to get all sorts trying it on!

On the whole is usually the Mit Evo, and the Evo tends to win, but thats only based on its superior exhaust note

If you do get a Subaru, you need to be able to spell and talk properly!
But you probably already noticed that!
